currently I'm in a mood to go to San Francisco, but i live at least a 1000 miles away there was a time when I could go there every weekend or so.
generaly speaking any place i wouldn't feel ashaimed of being, where i also wouldn't get killed or kicked out for doing so. someplace not dominated by christianity, islam, or any kind of culture that glorifies and romantacizes aggressiveness, with lots of trains, mountains, trees, and no building codes this pretty much rules out the u.s., which happens to be the only country i've ever lived in. at least it does for now. no one place 'has it all' of how and in what ways i want to live and would prefer living, but canada looks might nice to me. my one day visit many years ago was a very happy one. the're one of the few places left on the planet that still seems to have a little elbow room. last time i checked i could go there and they wouldn't kick me out however long i wanted to stay or however long it took me to become a citizen. i can only guess though as to weather or not i could build the wierd kind of house(s) i want to live in, but i would immagine they feel they have better things to do then tell me to tear it down if i built it far enough from so called civilization. i'm only immagining though. and hoping. i've sort of dreamed of this all my life. and i still don't know how or if ever i am going to get there. i suppose if i just abbondon my 'begging bowl' and this internet connection and started walking and hitching i'd eventualy get there. well that's one place i'd like to go. a place i'd like to go to settle perminantly. there are other places and kinds of places i'd like to go too. pretty much anyplace i haven't been that has trees, mountains and trains, and like the song; "two out of three ain't bad" even new things that have been built or chainged since the last time i'd been places that i have. just things that arn't what has become so deathly conventional. not because of conventionality as such so much as so much that has BECOME conventional, especialy since the end of the 70's. =^^= .../\...
themnax, have you looked at new zealand as a place to live? there's a lot of elbow room and very little religion (though it depends on where you go, obviously). Also, it's easy enough to get entrance to the country.
new zealand seems truely beautiful what i've seen of it (only in pictures obviously but i have looked at lots and lots of them) and i'm sure i could be very happy living there. i wonder how much getting there would cost. probably not more then a few hundred bux air fair i would immagine. well if and when i ever do get a chance to move anywhere, it will most likely be perminently. i really don't dislike the part of northern california i grew up in and have lived in more then 3/4 of my life ever since. i just wish it was part of another country. like yours. =^^= .../\...
don't worry...my brain was removed last night and I don't think I am getting it back until two weeks from tomorrow
